Any good April Fools today?


I don't see a lot of stuff today. I'm wondering if people are petered out.

April Fools seems like a relic of a happier time in the tech world. That said, I've found myself following /r/SBCGaming on Reddit recently and they had a decent one today with their game of the month, announcing that a historically terrible game (Superman 64) had been selected.

Which is about how since 2014, April fools jokes on hn have been discouraged.

( Its old, but I thought I'd reshare. )

The best April Fools jokes are the ones that are fairly easy to see through by intelligent people; but that gullible people tend to fall for.

Unfortunately, there is so much crazy stuff on social media and even on major media outlets' sites, that you are sure must be a joke or a conspiracy theory; but turn out to be true.

It has taken the novelty out of having just one day a year where the gloves can come off.
